Carried Half Dead Through Towns And Villages

First Lesson: Francis now hung body and soul upon the Cross with Christ; the fervor of his seraphic love raised him up to God and he was consumed with zeal for souls, so that he shared his Lord's thirst for their salvation. He could no longer walk because of the nails protruding from his feet, and so had himself carried, half-dead as he was, about the towns and villages.
